#52796, "O2 sensor question(s)" Jun-07-03 11:15 AM by eclipticrider
damn i know these things are expensive and today mine just fell out!!!! after i got my test pipe put on... i guess all the banging knocked it loose well its gone now... what affects will this have on my car (other than the loud obnoxious Honda buzzing sound that it now makes!!)
could i plug it up with a regular bolt untill i can replace the sensor?? what size bolt would i need??
thanks
*edit* also what can i use for a gasket for the test pipe i went to autozone for it but they didn't have one to match mine
could i use the same stuff that you'd use on a valve cover gasket??

If you are talking about the o2 sensor from behind the cat converter, then it will not effect the engine at all. You will prob get several CEL's though if you leave it out and dont replace it. You can get a new gasket for the DP to testpipe connection at Napa, a stock replacement should fit just fine, unless your test pipe flanges are not same size as the stock Cat flanges. You have to use a metal exaust gasket on this connection.

I would not run the car at all with the front o2 sensor out ever ever. Thats bad news. Make sure you get an oem replacement, those bosch ones you have to wire in and they dont last as long.
